Pillorian was formed in early Summer of 2016 by Stephen Parker, John Haughm, and Trevor Matthews with the goal to create a unique, sinister, and twisted style of dark/black metal. Fusing haunting melodies with avant-garde structures, dark folk elements and blackened walls of furious sound; the music of Pillorian is the perfect aural definition of its namesake. The band recently signed to Eisenwald Records in Germany and released their debut album Obsidian Arc in March of 2017.
